"I saw him coming over and I was shooting away. The next thing I know his foot connects with my camera and my camera connects with my face, really hard. He looked straight at me, swung his leg back pretty hard and full-blown kicked me in the face. He continued performing. I was startled - I kind of stopped looking at him. I just got down and was holding my face because it hurt so badly."

The photographer continued working at the concert but later sought medical treatment at a nearby hospital. She told Variety that she's planning to press charges against the singer.

"I feel like if I don't do anything, he gets to kick people in the face and not get in trouble because he's a musician," she said. "That's not right."

After kicking Ms Lauren, Homme reportedly pulled out a knife on stage and cut his head open.

He can be seen bleeding in several photos from the gig.
